Okay, so just watched the latest episode of RWBY, ehhhh, bit slow, but we'll see where it goes. Okay, some announcements, bought some more gym equipment for back in Illinois, so that way I can have something to work with while the actual gyms are closed. Granted some are allowing people in but only a few people in at a time so its almost pointless. So I figured fuck it, nows the time to start building that home gym I've always wanted.
Granted its been a bitch so far, all I got so far is a pair of adjustable dumbbells that go to 100 lbs each, a bench, a squat rack, and a jump rope. Don't get me wrong, I can do a lot with that, but I am going to miss cable machines.
But either way, its all gear I can easily break down so when I move to Alaska it won't be a pain in the ass to move it out there.
Anyways, heres the next chapter.
At the motorhome
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Winter yelled out in horror as Jem had put on Range 15.
And she was horrified at the fact that one of the main characters was fucking a zombie.
"HA HA HA!" Jem was laughing his ass off as he was expecting this reaction.
As messed up as it was, Jem had started a little game called 'See how many times you can get Winter to swear in a day.' And he found that the best way of doing that was to show her how sick his sense of humor could be. Well that and also showing her the vast difference between the military humor of his world versus her world. Jem didn't know much about Remnant's military, but he had a pretty good idea as to how they were. Considering how movies and tvs always made the military look more serious and how they never did anything stupid or silly, he imagined that Remnant was similar to that. Mostly because its from a tv show which means its already not subjected to the reality of military life, and Jem imagined that most of the soliders would be either super honorable or strict disciplinarians with no sense of humor.
And just seeing Winter lose her shit was just plain delicious.
"You have the sickest, most disgusting sense of humor!" Winter said as Jem had to pause the movie to laugh.
"Yep!" He said with no doubt in his mind.
"She was dead!" Winter said.
"I mean shes technically the living dead, so would that make it okay?"
"NO!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not going to have this conversation about if its okay to...ugh its so gross I don't even want to mention it." Winter was officially scarred for life.
"Well, just wait, it gets better." Jem said as he unpaused the movie.
"How could it possibly get better?" Winter really didn't want to watch this movie anymore.
"I promise it gets better."
"...Ugh..." Winter decided to humor him a bit.
Nala was currently inside the house with his parents since Winter and him decided to have an adult movie night...
Wait that came out right.
Ugh, I mean a grown up movie.
Fuck thats not much better.
Okay back to the actual story.
"You would never see this type of tomfoolery in the Atlas army." Winter said watching the movie with her arms crossed.
"What makes you say that?" Jem asked as he was honestly curious.
"Any kind of shameful behavior that could result in a negative view of the Atlesian forces is strictly prohibited." Winter stated as Jem just deadpanned.
"...You realize that doesn't stop that from happening right?" He said as they had the same thing in the US Army.
"No, because our soldiers are well disciplined to the point where the thought of...stuff like that would never cross their minds."
Jem wasn't buying it.
"I don't know, enlisted men are enlisted men, and enlisted men are going to act crazy." Jem was skeptical of the idea of an army that was that stuck up.
"It's the truth." Winter said as she huffed.
"I guarantee you if I had five minutes with them I could organize one of the biggest wildest barracks parties ever." He said as she scoffed.
"And thats why I'm glad you will never meet them." She said with a 'hmph'.
"Well geez, no need to bite my head off." He said as he sat back and started the movie back up.
Atlas sounded like it needed to loosen up a bit.
Team RWBY
"Dang, I thought the board games we had back home could get sadistic, but this is just plain cruelty!" Yang said as Team RWBY and JNPR were playing seperate games of monopoly.
"What evil genius came up with this?" Ruby said as she honestly loved her sister and all of her friends.
But right now she had thoughts of sweet sweet murder as this game went on. Blake had already raged quit and decided to go down pet Kirby in the next room while searching for something to watch on Netflix. Sadly, she didn't really know what to put on. She was just aimlessly scrolling through titles when she paused at one.
"Huh, looks like a nature documentary about tigers? Eh why not, then again...the host of it seems a little...weird, but eh not like I'm watching much else." Blake said as she clicked on it hoping it would be good.
Weiss meanwhile was laughing her ass off because for the first time in her life, she was ACTUALLY dominating at a board game. Oh did she remember the days of when her forces would be destroyed whenever they played Remnant: The Game. Now the tables had turned. It was a board game revolving completely around business! Something that she had been raised on! Needless to say, she had immediately had no issues with buying up property and owning a good portion of the board already.
Meanwhile, she looked over at Jaune and Pyrrha who were both stuck in jail as surprisingly Nora was dominating the board over there. Granted her strategy was not nearly as refined as Weiss's, Nora literally bought every single property she landed on, which didn't seem smart, but by some sheer dumb luck, she already owned all the railroads, it was total bullshit.
"HA!" Nora laughed as Ren landed on her railroad again.
If one was to look closely you would notice that Ren had activated his semblance to stop himself from losing his shit and throwing the game board out the window.
Nala meanwhile was currently happily eating some BBQ ribs as she was currently hanging out with Zeus watching Balto.
Blake still didn't understand how Nala could be some calm around dogs when she was not fond of them. Something was odd about that girl. Either that or Jem was starting to influence her in ways she didn't think possible. But then again, Nala hadn't known Jem for that long before she met Zeus, so that wouldn't nearly be enough time to influence her to not be scared of dogs.
How Nala loved dogs was a mystery to her.
"No doggy these are my ribs!" Nala said as Blake turned to see Zeus trying to get a bite.
"NO DOGGY! THATS A BAD DOGGY!" Blake saw that Zeus was now on top of Nala trying to lick her face to get all the bbq sauce off of her that was getting all over her face.
"...HOW?" Blake was confused.
But she decided to just go back to her nature documentary.
Back with Winter and Jem
"Wow, you really go form 0-100 really fast when it comes to changing movies." Winter was honestly shocked at Jem's latest movie choice.
He went from Range 15 to a nice relaxing nature documentary about Alaska.
"Well, I figured you would need a break from the insane fuckery of the last movie, so decided to give you a break." He said as he sat back with his coffee and a donut.
"Its almost 7, don't you think its too late for coffee?" Winter asked as he shrugged.
"This is what I used to do when I was active duty, as long as I do some pushups I'll be fine." He said as this was his usual routine.
Get a heavy workout throughout the day, and then later at night do a few extra pushups just for shits and giggles to make sure the excess strain would help lull him to sleep. The coffee however, he loved caffeine, but he had consumed so much in the past three years, it didn't work on him after so many cups.
"Well thats thoughtful." She said as she calmly sipped her tea.
"That being said, don't get used to it, I still have a lot more messed up movies to show you." At this Winter glared.
"I swear to god, if you try and show me something like Hellraiser again I will c-" At this Jem waved her off.
"Woah, easy there, its all in good fun." Jem said as he put his feet up in his recliner.
"So how was work?" Winter was trying to change the subject away from Hellraiser.
That movie actually scared her.
"Eh, same old shit, bunch of creepy cougars trying to grab me, bunch of karens complaining someone wasn't wearing a mask when someone was running on a treadmill, and on top of that, my boss left without telling anyone, so I had to take over while they left, that sucked ass." He said as he remembered he had to deal with his own responsibilities and her responsibilities, and it was dumb.
"Well why did she leave?"
"Probably because she got bored, plus she probably assumed that nobody else was going to come in, but wouldn't you know it, all the new years resolutioners showed up about six months late. It got hectic quick." He rolled his eyes.
"Do you not like new people in the gym?"
"Its not that, its just that my issue is that I love it when new people join, but most of the time they quit after a few weeks because they don't see results right away, and that drives me crazy."
"But doesn't that make less work for you?'
"It does, but I just hate when people say they're finally going to take their health seriously, only to stop when things get hard and they're not improving as fast as they would think."
"Why is that?"
"Well honestly, because a weak body leads to a weak mind, and then next thing you know you got a shit ton of people whining about how their lives suck, but because they don't take one aspect of their life seriously, it leads to a domino effect of just sucking at life. If you constantly quit after something gets a little hard, you're always going to be a quitter in life. Granted, that being said, I don't mean start off with the hardest shit right away, start off small, give yourself a bit of time for little victories, then work your way up. It may not be fast, but it works." He said as he took another sip of coffee.
"Huh, sounds insightful."
"Actually I'm pretty sure Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned that in a speech, but I completely agree."
"Ugh, why do you always bring up Arnold?"
"Because who doesn't love Arnold?"
